LEFT OUT: Cuadrado has reportedly been omitted from Fiorentina's squad to face Real Madrid [GETTY]

Reports suggest the winger will NOT be selected in the Serie A side's 23-man squad, prompting speculation that a mega-money move is imminent.

Even if a deal is not just around the corner, Cuadrado's absence would be a huge sign Fiorentina have given up all hope of keeping the Colombian and that he will leave before the close of the transfer window.

Fiorentina's president Andrea dalla Valle has admitted Cuadrado is more than likely to leave the club and he claimed the Colombian winger had indeed asked to go.
